Understanding delegated legislation for Brexit and beyond

Grant: £91,188
November 13, 2017

There is set to be a gap in the legislative delivery of Brexit, namely poor understanding of delegated legislation among organisations whose interests Brexit-related delegated legislation will affect. This project addresses this gap by widening access to delegated legislation information and training from the Hansard Society.

The use of delegated legislation is central to the government’s plans for the legislative delivery of Brexit, as shown in the EU (Withdrawal) Bill. Delegated legislation will be central to Brexit’s policy content. However, understanding of the delegated legislation process is low across all sectors of society. This is a significant barrier to business and civic engagement with the Brexit legislative process.
